Welcome to let's blog design, I will be giving you a taste of my current design favourites and all that’s hip and happening. I take my inspiration from the world around me and hope my blog will inspire you to be creative.

Recently I joined other bloggers and
magazine editors at the launch of Next’s new flagship store in Shoreham,
Sussex.

The way it was organised right from the
beginning should have been an indicator of how things were going to turn out.
Next staff together with the PR Company organised one of the best events I’ve
ever attended. From train tickets to coffee choices and lunch it all worked
like a well oiled machine.

At the shop I was astounded to see how well
laid out it was with even the smallest detail taken into account. Next’s staff
are amazing; their training programme must be so well thought through and
delivered. I was there again last Sunday and the response I got when
questioning some of the staff was simply fantastic. Customer service has been
taken to a much higher level. Going to Next in Shoreham is a great shopping
experience.

Prices are extremely competitive with other
shops if not at times cheaper. I do not have green fingers but luckily am
married to someone that is and so we spend a lot of money on flowers; the
plants were of high quality and the Christmas trees were just the most
beautiful I have ever seen – I had to touch them to make sure they were real.

But that is not all, Next is now selling
kitchens, bathrooms, tiles, wallpaper, paint, furniture and so on. Yes you can
kit your whole house just from one store, it reminds me of the US and Canada.

I am truly impressed with the store and mostly
with the staff at the front as well as the so called back office for putting
together such a lovely event.

Next have been kind enough to donate a
prize for me to run a competition.

By pure luck I came across one of the most
amazing and stylish yacht that I have seen in a while and it is being built in
China by McConaghy Boats for a very lucky couple from Hong Kong.

I used to spend a lot of time and holidays
on beautiful yachts so I suppose I am still hooked on them but that’s no
surprise since they boast some of the most elegant, stylish and sophisticated
interiors.

This beauty is the trimaran “Adastra”. It
has taken more than 5 years of design and discussion with the owners; the end
result is a yacht that fulfils their needs and that of their family.

The vision: provide a level of comfort and
style with low fuel consumption, excellent sea keeping qualities and luxurious
accommodation. The outcome: described by Boat International as "one of the world's most amazing super
yachts, that could spell the future for efficient long range cruising",
"Adastra" will take the power trimaran concept further than has ever
been attempted before.

The main deck is comprised of a gorgeous, spacious
salon area boasting superb views through a panoramic window while accommodating
a lounge area, dining area and navigation station. Through the saloon there is access to a large sun
bed on the foredeck.

The garage door has been designed to fold
out and create a large dive platform (hummm, I like the sound of that). Extra
space has been created below deck to accommodate a full-width master cabin
located aft with access from the deck saloon, two further guest cabins and
accommodation for the crew.

Adastra offers comfortable accommodation
for nine guests and up to six crew members. Jepsen Designs did an amazing job
designing the interiors of this stunning yacht.

For a while I have been looking for somewhere
to store my jewellery. The women readers among you will know how frustrating it
is when your prized necklaces, bracelets and bangles get all tangled up. No matter where I’d looked I just haven’t been
able to find the right thing. So with that in mind I thought I needed to take
matters in my own hands and DO IT MYSELF (no need for cringing, please).

So here is what I assembled:

·Two frames

·Chicken wire

·Pliers or scissors

·Stapler

And this is what I did:

One of the frames I liked had a picture so I proceeded to remove it
and the glass.

I cut the wire to measure.

Then I stapled the wire in the back of the frame.

And voilà!

I now can display my jewellery (well nearly all of it, I might just
get another frame) and makes it so much easier to find the right accessory. Yes
I know... you are thinking I am vain!
